<p>If you remember from earlier in the year, HAL Laboratory announced that <em>Kirby</em> would be getting <a href="https://www.destructoid.com/kirby-is-also-getting-an-action-fighting-game-this-year-432306.phtml" target="_blank">three 3DS games</a> this year. While one was merely an upgraded, standalone release of a mini-game included in <em>Triple Deluxe</em>, the second was a title called <em>Blowout Blast</em>. Not much is known about the game, other than it being set in a 3D world.</p>
<p>If you've been looking forward to the title, you won't have much longer to wait. Nintendo of America announced via Twitter that the eShop title will be available for download on July 6, 2017 (July 4 for our Japanese brethren), which is next week!</p> <p>

Like any good company, you have to know your audience and you have to cater to that audience -- literally.</p>
<p>It looks like Nintendo has finally grabbed the reigns and is looking to boost the Wii U's sluggish sales with a special appearance on Cake Wars on July 20 on the Food Network.</p>
<p>With Nintendo's colorful past and present, making quality Nintendo-themed cakes seems like a no brainer for this kind of show. What kind of cake would you make?</p> <p>

<p>I hate to ruin the magic, but it's not too difficult to make Kirby snacks. Is it round and pink? Yes? Then it's a Kirby snack.</p>
<p>Is it not round and pink? Yes? I don't know what the hell you just did. How did you screw this up?</p>
<p>It's like an "If, then, else" statement if I knew how to do that. Someone do it for me, and then I'll show you my attempt, which was probably hilariously off.</p> <p>

The <a target="_blank" href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b3-SL3fbg1U"><em>ClayFighter</em> series</a> has been dormant since the N64 days. <em><a target="_blank" href="https://www.armikrog.com/">Armikrog</a></em> has been in development hell for years. That clay-based<em> Loco Roco</em> game for the PlayStation 3 never happened. Maybe worst of all, <em><a target="_blank" href="https://www.dominiquepamplemousse.com/">Dominique Pamplemouse</a></em> is not yet a million seller. What the heck, guys!?</p>
<p>Looking at how few clay-focused games have made it to the market makes&nbsp;<em>Kirby and the Rainbow Curse</em>&nbsp;an even more interesting part of Nintendo's overall strategy. It's both safe and risky at the same time. This is not Kirby's <a href="https://www.destructoid.com/review-kirby-s-epic-yarn-186190.phtml" target="_blank">first foray into the world of arts and crafts</a>, and Nintendo has toyed with the idea of clay graphics before. The cover art for the first and last issues of <em>Nintendo Power</em> were made from clay, and a lot of the promotional material from <em>EarthBound</em> used clay models. It's clear that Nintendo has been toying with clay for a while, but <em>Kirby and the Rainbow Curse</em> is the first time it has finally gone all the way clay.&nbsp;</p>
<p>I hope it's not the last.&nbsp;</p> <p>

I keep replaying it for the adorable music. We've since found out that this title is called <a target="_blank" href="https://www.destructoid.com/kirby-triple-deluxe-is-the-new-kirby-title-for-3ds-265644.phtml"><em>Kirby: Triple Deluxe</em></a> and, at least in Japan, it'll be releasing on January 11, 2014.</p>
<p>Perhaps more pressing, however, is Kirby's face in this <a target="_blank" href="https://www.nintendo.co.jp/3ds/balj/index.html">box art</a> from the official Japanese website. He's ... he's <a target="_blank" href="https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/AmericanKirbyIsHardcore">not supposed to be angry</a>! Please, Kirby, no! Don't murder my family!</p>
<p>As much as I like the series, it's usually the same old stuff, for better or worse. That said, we've been needing a <em>Kirby </em>on 3DS and this looks like a proper installment. I'll gladly take it.</p> <p>

We wanted to make a special cake and asked him which character he would like in cake form. He suggested Kirby, so Kirby it was!</p>
<p>I didn't bake this. You friggin' kidding me? I would burn down the kitchen! No, this was my aunt's doing, and I'm quite impressed with how well it turned out. All the kids wanted a piece of the face, of course, because kids love mutilation to an unhealthy degree. Children are psychos.</p>
<p>Admire this tasty confection if you can! I guess it could double as Chad Concelmo's birthday cake, since today is <em>his</em> birthday! Here you go, Chad! Have a Kirby flipper!</p> <p>

<p>They're so cute! &nbsp;Far too cute to eat, right? &nbsp;I mean, I should freeze these forever and crawl into the freezer every night to hang out with them ... and tell them stories ... and build a glacial fortress of gelatin and <a href="https://www.destructoid.com/kirby-is-made-of-string-in-kirby-s-epic-yarn-180091.phtml">yarn</a>. Nevermind, let's devour them after&nbsp;the Destructoid Show tonight. &nbsp;A video is coming soon.</p>
